FAO All club secretaries and members of clubs affiliated to North Lancs and Fylde CBA
You will remember that earlier on in the year we were asked by the BCGBA to share some correspondence and information about a recorded webinar with you that was connected to a conflict that had arisen within and between the BCGBA management committees which affects the BCGBA County and member associations.
The BCGBA Chief Executive Officer has now taken steps to arrange a Special General meeting which is being held at 10am on Saturday 14th November 2026 at Walker Sports and Social Club, Long Lane, Warrington. WA2 8PU.
As the North Lancs and Fylde County Bowling Association committee we have 5 representatives in place to attend the meeting being held on Saturday, these 5 people will be authorised to vote on our behalf in line with the specified BCGBA voting system.
We have been advised that additional members of the BCGBA can attend the meeting and observe the proceedings however will be restricted from voting. We are all members of the BCGBA by virtue of being members of our bowling clubs and our affiliation to the BCGBA through NL&F.
I know that some of you have contacted me for updates about this situation and as a committee we have not been able to give you clear answers to your questions as in many cases the answers are just not known. We are still awaiting some further information from the BCGBA that relates to this meeting and we are hoping that this Special General meeting will identify and address some of the issues that currently exist.
Please can I ask all Club secretaries to make their members aware of the Special General Meeting that is taking place,if anybody would like to discuss this or have access to the correspondence that has been provided, please feel free to contact me.
I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Jonathan Lacey as our new Chairman for North Lancs and Fylde CBA following the passing of Steve Clamp. Jonathan has been a member of the committee for a number of years and has been fulfilling this role in the 2026 season.
